Modern Day Living Room Design – This or That

June 22, 2021
  • Share

Modern Day Living Room Design from traditional to modern. These two living rooms are so different in style but both are full of surprising design choices that make each interesting to look at. Neither are cookie-cutter and create an interesting conversation around design style and why we like one more than the other, according to our own unique taste. The first is a more traditional space filled with coziness that feels livable. The second is a soft contemporary modern with a glam undertone.

Traditional Living Room Design

Designed by Nickey Kehoe, this living room above resides in Los Angeles, California, and has a laid-back style to it. The white wood cathedral ceiling gives this space a farmhouse feel while the navy blue windows and fireplace give it a contemporary twist. The eclectic furniture choices are what make this living room feel cozy. The patterned couches, leather chair, vintage-looking console table, and credenza work together to create a one-of-a-kind atmosphere.

Modern Living Room Design

The living room below takes a very different approach from the one above. This modern space is inside of a Brooklyn townhouse and is full of original architecture from the high ceilings to the paneling details on the walls. The light pink sofa creates a contemporary approach while the floor-to-ceiling gold mirror gives off a glam feeling. The pedestals and pottery in the corner add a unique layer of detail while the marble coffee table is sleek in contrast.

Low light. Lacquered walls. A kitchen wrapped in hand-patinated brass. An antique mirrored bath with painted bamboo panels. A bedroom in floor-to-ceiling leopard print that somehow feels calm. Maximalism that whispers.
Save this one for the next time someone tells you maximalism can’t be serene. 🖤
